British Forces Break Through Near Valenciennes In Major Advance
British Field Marshal Haig reports third and fourth armies breached outer German defenses south of Valenciennes and push toward Maubeuge and Mons. On a 15 mile front they advanced 3 to 4 miles, taking 6 000 prisoners and many guns. Allies plan to outflank Valenciennes as Raismes Forest falls to the north. Separately Foch and Allied leaders outline armistice terms including evacuation of Alsace Lorraine and Prussian Poland, surrender of submarines, and occupation of German battle ships.
